Mitral annular disjunction in surgical mitral valve prolapse: prevalence, characteristics and outcomes [PDF]
Background There is a paucity of literature regarding outcomes of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mitral annular disjunction (MAD) after mitral surgery, with many unanswered questions including the post-surgical persistence of MAD, effect ...

Mitral Annular Disjunction: Clinical Implications and Surgical Considerations. [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction is a cardiac structural abnormality characterized by the distinct separation between the top of the left ventricular myocardium and the mitral annulus supporting the posterior mitral leaflet occurring during systole. It has recently gained wide attention due to the increasing recognition of the link between mitral annular ...

Dual nature of mitral annular disjunction: normal variation or pathological precursor?
The concept of mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has garnered significant attention due to its potential clinical implications. MAD refers to a spatial displacement of the hinge point of the mitral valve leaflets.
